  You know that saying, “If it’s too good to be true, it probably is”? I wish I could say that quote is totally full of it. My life was good. I had a wonderful family, a loving mother and father. And then that life was ripped from me. With my father gone, my mother remarried. Then I was accepted into an Architecture Program at Groveton College. And we started a new life. Everything was going well again. Until it wasn’t. My new stepbrother Xayden and his best friends, Dekker and Seven, are hotter than the sun. But they are also complete pains in the you know where.
